May 20, 2010


I have a gadget that I use when I walk. It's a geeky sports gadget that Chris gave me about 6 years ago. (maybe 7). Of all the exercise gadgets that I have owned, electronic or otherwise, this is one I use all the time and just love it. It tells me exactly how fast I am walking (or running which I don't do..or biking), tells me how far I've walked and how long it's taken me. It is like a GPS for your wrist and uses satellite signal to track your speed and distance. I usually keep to a 17 to 18 minute per mile pace when I walk. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower. It's like my own personal training assistant on my wrist.

Since I accepted Jesus as my Savior several weeks ago, he has kind of also become my personal training assistant...but, with life. He is with me when I am walking, sleeping, working, etc. He can see when I am sad or happy. If I need to talk, but nobody is around...I have found myself talking to him. I have also begun using the Bible as my assistant. I often will just page through it, reading random sections or verses...finding new things in it all the time.

I love my electronic walking gadget...but, more then that I love my new found faith that I have in Jesus Christ.
